Great song. One thing that interested me was the line "The pent up flood gates maintained in your tone" In their other song Again, one part mentions floodgates too. "The floodgates are breaking and pouring out". Hmm, anyone know if thats coincidence or intentional? Do floodgates have meaning?

I think they're referring to whenever someone cries..
